His alter ego Walter White and wife Skyler have never been too keen on the idea of couples therapy despite their increasingly fraught marriage over five seasons of Breaking Bad.

But unsurprisingly, Bryan Cranston takes a somewhat different approach to his real-life relationship with wife Robin Deardon.

In a new interview with Rolling Stone magazine, the 57-year-old star has revealed he and Robin regularly attend couple's therapy sessions.

'I see a [therapist] in L.A. from time
to time, when I'm feeling edgy or anxiety-ridden,' he told the magazine
recently. 'And my wife and I go to a couples therapist. Our agreement
is, if either of us feels like we want to go, the other can't object.

'For my father's generation, as he literally said, "I'd rather stick needles in my eyes than go to a therapist," he added. 'When I was a kid, if you heard of someone who went to a psychiatrist, it meant they were crazy. That's the kind of labelling and judgement I was raised with. And I had to get rid of that.'

Bryan married Robin in 1989 at the age of 35 after meeting on the set of TV show Airwolf and they have a daughter Taylor, 19.

'We met at the right age, when we were both mature,' said Bryan, whose first marriage to writer Mickey Middleton ended in 1982.

However, the Emmy-award winning starsaid he doesn't believe there's just one person for everyone.

'Quite frankly, love among adults is conditional,' he said, perhaps referencing Walter White. "We're in love, right now. Oops, you killed someone? Ok, wait a minute, that's kind of a problem for me." It's all conditional.'

Bryan will be stepping out on the red carpet of Sunday's Emmy Awards where he is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor for Breaking Bad which finishes in the U.S. on September 29.
